The origin of Chu:

Chu was a barbarian tribe in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, named after living by the Chu River. In BC 1 1 century, after Zhou Wuwang destroyed the business, more than 100 vassal states were enfeoffed, and Chu was one of them. At that time, Chu was in a low position, mainly living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, without a unified political center, and was a scattered tribal alliance.

At the end of the 7th century BC, Chu Zhuangwang came to power, unified Chu State and established Jiangling as its capital, which laid the foundation for the centralization of Chu State. From then on, Chu became a big country, and then began a long and glorious history.
